India will face England in the fourth Women’s T20I of the five-match series at Old Trafford, Manchester, on Wednesday, July 10. With a 2-1 lead in the series, the visitors will be eager to recover from their narrow defeat at The Oval and clinch the contest with one match to spare. A win here would give India an unassailable lead and mark a major achievement on England soil ahead of the final clash in Birmingham on July 12. This match will mark the return of Women’s T20I cricket to Old Trafford after nearly 13 years. The last and only women’s T20I at this venue was played in September 2012.

Old Trafford Pitch Report

The surface at Old Trafford is expected to provide assistance to both batters and bowlers. Pacers could find early movement on the fresh pitch, particularly under overcast skies, while spinners are likely to come into play during the middle overs as the surface wears down. Teams will be tempted to field first after winning the toss to take advantage of the early seam movement and assess conditions under lights. A balanced track ensures a competitive outing, where both sides will need to adapt swiftly and execute their plans with precision.
